No declaration of war needed to fight drug cartels, Trump says

"Now they (drugs) are coming in by land...you know, the land is going to be next," Trump added, echoing comments he has made in recent weeks.

Illegitimate Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, speaking at a live event in Caracas on Thursday, warned that if the US ever intervened in the country, "the working class would rise and a general insurrectional strike would be declared in the streets until power is regained," adding that, "millions of men and women with rifles would march across the country."
